WHERE CIVILIZATION FAILS.
The ultimate in labor warfare hag occurred down
in Arkansas, where a railroad Btrike that has lasted
for two years has culminated in the burning of
bridges, the lynching of a striker and wholesale de
portations. From this distance it is impossible to
apportion the blame; all that can be said is that the
entire condition is wrong. This country must civ
ilize its industrial life. The record of Bisbee, of
Herrin and of innumerable other disputes between
capital and labor is a black one.
Down in Arkansas the general public appears to
have interfered, not in any just or intelligent way,
but from sheer exasperation. This labor dispute has
kept the towns along the Missouri & North Arkansas
railway in turmoil for two years. For a time the
railroad simply shut down operation, ruining the
business life of the district. The loss has fallen on
every one concerned—the strikers, the public and
the railroad corporation.
The cauldron of hate boiled over when a new
period of bridge burning began. These towns once
more were face to face with isolation, with their
trade cut off and traffic at a standstill. Settlement
of the dispute appeared farther and farther away.
The efforts the railway labor board had counted for
nothing and there was nowhere to turn for relief.
Such were the materials of the disorder that
broke out so disastrously to law and order. The final
resort has been had to violence, a matter for sin
cere regret to citizens of all classes, whatever their
sympathies. The sending in of troops will not undo
the wrongs that have been committed. Something
more is needed—a spirit of fair play all around, and
a tribunal with power and authority to adjust labor
disputes with justice to all before they come to such
a pass.
TO RESTORE RESPECT FOR LAW.
The uncertainty, complexity and delays of the
law, so noticeable to the public generally, can no
longer be ignored by the lawyers themselves. The
most aerious consequence of these defects is that
they create a lack of respect for the law, which un
dermines tha moral fiber of the community. If the
operation of justice is defective the rich are more
apt to use their wealth to oppress and the tempta
tion to cheat, steal and indulge in the whole
catalogue of crime is unchecked.
It was with these thoughts in mind that a meet
ing of distinguished members of the legal profession
recently met in New York to urge the necessity of
restating the law and simplifying legal procedure.
Consider first the fact that Elihu Root, probably
the greatest member of the American bar, presided,
and the report adopted by this meeting becomes
startling. One section, which takes cognizance of
popular opinion, reads thus:
"'There Is today general dissatisfaction with the
adminlslration of jestice. The feeling of dissatis
faction is not confined to that radical section of
the community which would overthrow existing so
cial, economic and political Institutions. If it
were we, as lawyers, could afford to Ignore U.
“But the opinion that the law is unnecessarily
uncertain and complex: that many of its rules do
not work well in practice, and that its administra
tion' often results .not In Justice, but in injustice,
Is general among all classes and among persons of
widely divergent political and social opinions.”
The remarkable thing is that these lawyers do
not attempt to convince the public that it is entirely
mistaken. “In our opinion,” says the report, “the
most important task that the bar can undertake is to
reduce the amount of uncertainty and complexity
of the law.” No effort here to smooth over the
situation by telling the public how wicked it is to
question the sacred nature of legal rigamarole. Ad
mitting the faults of the present system, they say:
“These defects cause useless litigation, prevent re
sort to the courts to enforce just rights, make it
impossible to advise persons of their rights, and
when litigation is begun create delay and expense.”
Having admitted the need for reform, the move
ment proceeds to the question of how it is to be
done. A conference has been called for next
month, in Washington, to consider plans for re
stating the whole body of the law. Chief Justice
Taft, with a notable array of federal judges, the
president of each state bar association, the head
of each law school and many noted practicing at
torneys will be invited to this meeting. It is seldom
that any professional or business class display such
a willing spirit under public criticism and moves to
clean house from the inside.
EUROPE DRAWS ON THE CORN FIELDS.
For the third time since 1900 Europe has bought
more than 100,000,000 bushels of American corn.
There is encouragement for the middlewest in the
news that corn exports for last year amounted to
166,003,000 bushels, an increase of 40 per cent
over the previous year. This, however, does not
equal the record for 1899, when 213,123,000 bush
els were sold abroad, but it is much better than the
total of 10,726(000 bushels in 1913.
The claim that the market for American farm
products abroad has been destroyed is not borne out
by the latest returns. Doubtless the low price of
corn had much to do with the volume of exports,
but at the same time the fact that Europe has
turned to this source of supply would seem to prom
ise a growing demand.
Omaha business men who induced the purchase
of commeal for European relief work played a val
uable part in advertising the Corn Belt However,
most of the corn exported from the United States
is used as feed for dairy cattle and other live stock.
Argentina is the chief rival in this trade, and in the
twenty years from 1900 sold nearly twice as much
abroad as did the United States. The South Amer
ican product sells for 8 to 10 rents a bushel more
than American corn, but has had the preference in
some countries because of its smaller kernels, which
make it suitable for poultry feeding and because
«£ its sweetness and lack of moisture.
The fact that Italy, Spain, France and Belgium
bought five times as much American corn last year
aa the prewar average ia important. The Corn Belt
needa a larger outlet, and is prepared to fill any
gegand, however largo,
FINANCING THE SCHOOLS.
In the move for public economy it is to be hoped
that the schools will not be singled out for any un
warranted sacrifice. It would be so easy to stint
the children of Nebraska and not feel the effect of
it for a dozen years. Especially may those who
have no children and who accordingly have little
acquaintance with the educational system be ex
pected to complain of the cost of maintaining the
schools. The average parent, of course, receives
much more benefit from the schools than they cost
him.
There is waste, however, in the present educa
tional system. This is not a subject for hostility,
but for impartial investigation. The rights of the
children come first in this case. If better schooling
can be obtained at a smaller outlay, that is to be
desired. It is unthinkable, however, that comprom
ise with ignorance or illiteracy should be made in
order to save any amount of money.
It is important that the teachers of Nebraska
should be thoroughly qualified for their positions.
To lower their standards would be a great mistake.
This is a fact to be taken into consideration in con
nection with the proposal to shorten the normal
school courses. Wage reductions that make the
teaching profession less attractive and would re
sult in a more rapid change of personnel would un
dermine the educational system.
Some things a rural community may do in order
to improve its school facilities without extrava
gance. One of these is to avoid what is some
times called the “suitcase teacher,” who lives in
town and comes out each day to her classes. An
instructor should live and establish herself among
the people she is serving. Undoubtedly also the
ambition for power and glory' has led many prin
cipals and superintendents to demand greater equip
ment or a wider curriculum than the circumstances
warrant. There is not as great pressure to enroll
every country school on the university accredited
list as citizens ate led to believe.
The Nebraska state legislature now has before
it a proposal for an investigation of the expenses
of the state university. This resolution arises as
much from the fact that there has been no full and
definite report of university finances as from any
well grounded belief that extravagance has existed
there. In a state that takes as much pride in its
schools as does Nebraska, nothing is to be feared
from such a survey.
The entire school system of the state is under
scrutiny. The correct attitude for educators to
take in this matter is one of full co-operation, not
of obstruction. Always it must be remembered,
certain technical details must be left to the trained
minds of the instructors, but if simpler, more ef
fective and less costly methods can be found, all
will be the gainer.
ONE LINE RIVER-TO-COAST.
The Union Pacific and Southern Pacific have
reached an agreement as to the use of the Central
Pacific. Details of the arrangement are not as
yet given to the public, and perhaps never will be,
further than the statement that the treaty' con
cluded is satisfactory to the Union Pacific. This
would be all right, were the terms equally satis
factory to the public, which yet has an interest in
the transaction that is paramount to that of the two
companies.
In the beginning the transcontinental line was
constructed by two companies, under the mistaken
idea that work would be facilitated and the com
pletion of the railroad hastened by such methods.
The thought back of all the negotiations, in con
gress and out, was that the road would be operated
as a unit, and not as competing or rival units. Far
thest from the thought of anybody, except Collis P.
Huntington, was the idea of the Central Pacific
being used to blockade the Union Pacific at Ogden,
while traffic was being diverted to the Southern
Pacific, which was an afterthought on the part of
Huntington. Owners of the Southern Pacific
are yet loath to relinquish their advantage, or to
loosen their grip on the business, and terms ar
ranged with the Union Pacific, however satisfactory
to the contracting companies, are not likely to em
body all that the public has a right to expect as
coming from a great transportation system that
was so liberally subsidized in the beginning because
it was to be of so important service to the public.
Shippers between the river and the coast are not
yet relieved from the I. C. C. ruling, laid down in
the celebrated Spokane case, under which the cost
of the back-haul from the coast is added to freight
from the river. The supreme court decision in the
rail-and-water case still holds. Until the effect of
these is overcome by some new application of the
fundamentals of rate-making, the region affected
will suffer, as it now does.
Transcontinental traffic will be benefited to the
extent that the Southern Pacific is required to p'»*
fair in the matter of freight out of San Francisco.
The Union-Central Pacific is the natural route, it is
shorter and easier, and business should be the gainer
therefrom. No good reason is known why com
merce and industry should pay to maintain the cost
of operating roundabout and difficult routes, when
a direct and easy way exists.
Flour exports from Nebraska in November last
were 1,651,851 barrels, an increase of 305,636 bar
rels over the corresponding month in 1921, if you
want to know what the millers are doing.

Clarifying the Herrin Case
From the St. lands Post-Dispatch. ——
By the rulings of Judge D. T. Hartwell, before
whom the Herrin massacre case is being tried at
Marion, 111:, extraneous and fictitious issues with which
an effort has been made from the beginning to com
plicate it have been cleared away and the road has
been made straight for a decision on its merits.
Even since the beginning of the investigation which
resulted in indictments and the present trial, there
has been a clamor about "capitalistic” persecution and
alleged attempts to disrupt organized labor. It was
based mainly on the interest manifested by the Illinois
Chamber of Commerce which took the form of raising
a fund for the expenses of the investigation and prose
cution. Incidentally, there was much talk about the
use of "gunmen” in labor disputes and complaint about
federal secret service men having aided in the investi
gation. The attempt was made to show that the case
was a Ufe-and-death struggle between capital and labor.
But Judge Hartwell has ruled that all such testi
mony Is Incompetent and has excluded it, holding that
the history of the "gunmen” and the contributions of
the Chamber of Commerce have nothing to do with
the case.
The rulings establish the case for what it is, a trial
for murder of five men who happen to be members of
a labor organization, but whose connection with that
organization raises no special presumption either of
guilt or innocence.
Judge Hartwell, in eliminating the spurious issue
of capital vs. labor, has rendered a real service to
organized labor, in compelling the abandonment of
that isaue, because no greater mistake was ever made
than was made b£ the leaders and lawyers of the
United Mine Workers in attempting to justify the Her
rin crime and trying to divert public attention from it
by pretending that the prosecution is an attack of cap
ital upon labor.

Political Prank*.
From ths Kansas City t>rov*rs Teiesrtm.
Politics, a* expressed in the votes
of the people, if that be politics, plays
some peculiar pranks.
As the result of the exercise of the
suffrage of the people last fall we see
Missouri with a republican governor
and a democratic legislature. Over in
Kansas the result was the opposite.
Kansas has a democratic governor
and all the other state officials and the
general assembly is republican.
These freaks of politics act, in a
way, as a corrective influence on men
that are in power. It will be recalled
that Thomas Jefferson said "In ques
tions of power then, let no more be
heard of confidence in man, but bend
him down from mischief by the chains
of the constitution."
The sage of Monticello. who played
the Addle by ear and designed his
residence at Monticello on purer
Grecian lines than any Greek of an
cient days ever conceived of. saw men
inclined to usurp power and he want
ed them held in check by the chains
of the constitution.
I>ow in Missouri and Kansas we
have governors of opposite political
faiths, opposite ideals, different in
every way, not thinking in the same
grooves, and coming from different
walks of life. Each is leveled down
and held down by the power that the
constitution of each of the states has
put in the direct and personal repre
sentatives of the people. The legis
latures as well as the governors are
also bound down by the ehalns of the
constitution, for no laws can bo passed
in Missouri or Kansas that are con
trary to the constitution of the United
States.
On the other hand the legislatures
are bound down by the vetoes of their
governors, except In the case of the
over riding of a veto by a legislature.
There might be such a partisanship
in Missouri or Kansas that the legis
latures, for pure political cussedness,
might over-ride a veto and pass n
law over the governor’s protest, but
it would have to be a law that was in
keeping with the fundamentals of the
constitution of the United States and
in keeping with the common law of
justice and equity or it would be time
wasted.
Kansas and Missouri, with their
bifurcated state governments, will
offer interesting object lessons In at
tempted harmony between the leg
islative and the executive bodies, and
it is to be hoped that in the interest
of the public good the two will see
alike In Justice and equity and that
something worth while will be ac
complished in both states, regardless
of the political situations that are po
tential in strife if either side wants
the sword rather than peace.
It might be well for the members
of the various state legislatures now
in session to be reminded of the fact
that a great many people put
politicians In the same category with
"good Indians,” and we of the west
know what a “good Indian” was in
the parlance of the plains.
Defective Drivers.
From tbs Louisville Courier-Journal.
Discussion of the mental capacity
of persons who drive automobiles
recklessly, menacing life and proper
ty, is passing from jest to earnest.
Sometime ago a Chicago paper took
a fling at “The Moron at the Wheel”
in a spirit of contemptuous jesi. ~'.e
ceutly judges here and there have dis
cussed gravely the mental state of
persons who step on the gas without
consideration of the rights or the
safety of others.
A recent departure in penology Is
the institution of mental tests, in De
troit, to ascertain what brain power
the road hog and the speed maniac
commonly have.
The purpose proclaimed is to in
flict severer punishmenst upon per
sons of mental capacity than upon
the mentally deficient. That may be
justice, tempered by mercy, insofar
as tho drivers brought into court are
concerned, but the public demands
justice, and justice to the public in
volves depriving the mentally de
ficient of the privilege of driving au
tomobiles, while puiflehing the men
tally sound for violating the law.
This view is expressed widely. The
ultimate result may be the institution
of mental tests to determine whether
persons who want to operate automo
biles should be allowed to do so
There is a law in Kentucky, and it
is a good one—that children under 14
years of age shall not drive automo
biles. There never was any objec
tion to the village Idiot driving a
horse. But It often was true that
a horse, by its own intelligence, saved
'he fool at the reins.
Exceptional intelligenece is not nec
essary to the successful and safe op
eration of an automobile. Many driv
ers who possess adequate Intelligence
are dangerous to others because they
are not morally fit to be allowed to

draw us near to Thse by all those en

We pray that Thou wilt make our

Woman and a Hairpin.
From Iht* Grand IM.iud Independent.
Dullards will tell you that women
are not so inventive as men, that they
don't take out as many patents. They
are so ingenious that they don't have
to. For Instance a woman can take
a hairpin and with It she can do all
that is doable. She can pick a lock
with it, pull a cork, peel an apple,
draw a nail, beat an egg, do up a
baby, sharpen a pencil, dig out a
sliver, Jasten a door, hang up a pic
ture, open a can, take up a carpet,
clean a lamp chimney, put up a cur
tain, cut a pie, rake a grate fire, make
a fork, a fish-hook, an awl, a gimlet,
or a chisel, stop a leak in the roof,
regulate a range, turn over a flapjack,
caulk a hole In a pair of trousers,
whip cream, reduce the pressure of
the gas meter, keep bills and receipts
on tile, stir butter, cut patterns, clean
a watch, untie a knot, tighten win
dows, reduce the asthma of tobacco
pipes, fix damaged toys, improve sus
penders, cut a cake, jab tramps, but
ton gloves and shoes, put up an awn
ing. In short, as said before, with a
hairpin a woman can do anything
she wants to.
Against War.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Leaders of men and of callings in
New York have issued an appeal to
their countrymen to side with them
In declaring and working against that
state of mind which leads to war.
To get rid of war there must. be a
public opinion In all lands determined
that war, that Its imagined glories and
its hideous reality of carnage, shall
cease to be. The present appeal is
clearly and simply put. There are
many on earth who were not
sufficiently lessoned by the recent
four years of abomination that swept
In the whole of the world directly or
indirectly. They have not felt the
weight of the suffering of noncom
hatants during and since the active
hostilities.
If mankind, after nineteen cen
turies of the Christian gospel and
ages of piety that never knew a creed
or any sectarian confines, still wants
massacre Instead of justice and char
ity and gentleness, the voice of man
kind will so pronounce and decide. If
lawlessness is desired and not law; if
vagrancy is preferred to labor; If in
solvency Is to supplant credit; if brute
violence Is to prevail over morality
and peace; If misery for one and all
shall replace tranquility and happi
ness—then let those eager for battle
have their way. But that is not the
choice of the sometimes forgotten and
often inarticulate millions. It is the
way of selfish politicians and dema
gogues not entitled to their will.
Oue declaration of citizens, however
thoughtful, however eloquent, will not
turn the scales and result in a right
decision. But many such protests
have a cumulative force that must be
heard above official arrogance, the rat
tle of the saber or the clang of the
Iron heel. A warless world may seem
a millennial dream In our time, hut
it must come, and it is an Inspiration
to bo cherished till the dawn of peaca,
Common Sense
No Good By Cross Looks.
Why do you allow that disagreeable
expression to set and overshadow
your face so many hours of each day?
Isn't it possible for you to be
earnest and interested without that
clouded expression?
You need not smile all the time, that
would he too much, but why go to
the other extreme and look cross and
ugly so much of the time?
If you consider it necssary for you
to cultivate such an expression in
order to be considered thoughtful and
thoroughly interested and you want
to impress the fact that hard business
rules your place Instead of matters
of a lighter nature, you are choosing
the wrong way to make this impres
sion.
There is too muta grouchinoss in
the business world.
It is not necessary, to business suc

For Township High Schools.
Alexandria, Neb.—To the Editor of
The Omaha Bee: Being connected
with the schools of Nebraska for the
past 35 years, both as a teacher and
a member of the school board. 1 have
made quite a study of the school laws
of the state. I see that two bills have
been Introduced Into the legislature
concerning high schools. One bill is
that the free high school attendance
law ho changed and the price of tui
tion be changed to $2 per week In
stead of $3 per week, the present price
paid. Should this bill pass u.nd be
come a law it would work hardship
on many of the high schools. During
the 1921-1922 school year the board of
education of Alexandria schools de
cided that they would admit the high
school students at 32 per week. 1’n
forseen expenses that arose after the
budget was made up, and it was de
cided that the attendance to the high
school could not be Justified short of
33 per week.
Another bill Is for the county to
pay the high school tuition Instead of
the district in which the student re
sides paying the tuition. We do not
believe this law would be as good a
law as a township high school law.
We have the figures at hand in our
own township.
To illustrate, in Alexandria precinct
there are 11 school districts, viz: Nos.
4, 6, 10, 14, 16, 21, 24. 30, 36, 52 and
85. These 11 school districts would
maintain their own district school up
to the ninth grade. The combined 11
school districts would be organized into
a high school controlled by a board of
trustees elected by the voters of these
11 school districts. The eighth grade
graduates of these 11 school districts
would be promoted to tho precinct
high school. The combined valuation
of these 11 school districts is 33,600,
000; a 3-mill annual tax in the high
school limits would support a good,
strong high school after tho high
school building was established. What
would be true in Alexandria township
or precincts would likewise work out
in 90 per cent of the townships in Ne
braska. During the period of getting
away from high taxes, why not decide
upon some practical and feasible plan
and lower taxes? Can you beat the
township high school system?
What is true of the township of
Alexandria would likewise be true in
all the thickly settled counties in the
state. It would work just as well at
Wilcox, Bertrand and Elk City.
I would like to have some member
of the legislature who is in favor of
better schools after reading this letter
in The Omaha Bee, draft some bill of
this nature and push It through the
legislature this winter. Here Is for
better schools.

Omaha.—To the Editor of The
Omaha Bee: We w ho sign our names
below wish to register a vigorous
complaint against a few of these un
sportsmanlike chaps in Omaha who
own spark sets, in the manner In
which they abuse their privileges.
A few nights ago pne of them waa
trying to adjust his spark and in
stead of cutting off his aerial he left
it hooked up. with the result that
every few seconds we would get a
very disagreeable buzz In our ears nt
soma interesting part of a program
we %vere listening to from out of town.
We don’t expect very much from
these kind of fellows in the way of i
co-operation, hut perhaps a little
publicity in your column might show
them the error of their way and at
the same time make It a little more
pleasant for all the rest of us who
have radio phone receiving sets.
And Fort Omaha is a joy killer.
Every time they start up sending we
might as well ha..g up the receivers
as he is all over our sets. It is not
the operators’ fault, of course, but we
do blame the authorities in charge of
that station for not correcting a fault
A Swimming Champion's Folks Ought to

that makes radio phone reception a
nightmare.
We understand that Fort Omaha has
an aerial, the guy wires being all In
one piece instead of broken up. If
this be true, and we believe it is. then
it is r.adily understood why they give
us so much Interference. This could
and should be corrected, and we be
lieve a little pressure of some kind
should be placed in the proper spot
to bring about the desired result.
We truly believe we have expressed
the thoughts and convictions of every
radio bug In Omaha and vicinity
owns a radio phone receiving set. ’*
We would rarlainly appreciate any
thing you might do and you have our
assurance that we will back you up
in moat anything in the way of cor
recting some o£ these faults. (Signed*.

Have you discovered
it for yourself'Tx-,
PeRHAPS you’ve explored cook book after cook
book for the right wayto stew prunes only to find a way
that was half-right and disappointing. Perhaps you gave
up in sheer desperation and shrugged, “Well, stewed
prunes are stewed prunes—what can one expect?” Or,
perhaps, you’re one of the fortunate few who have dis
covered the surprising difference between prunes that
are stewed and prunes that are shamefully mistreated.
If so—
You doubtless wash your Sunsweet Prunes, then soak
in warm water to cover over night if possible. In the
morning you cook them slowly in the water in which they
were soaked. You have discovered, too, that slow cook
ing not only absorbs most of the juice but develops the
natural fruit sugar, so no sugar need be added. [If you
do add sugar, however, you put it in after the prunes are
cooked but while still hot so the sugar will dissolve].
By this time you must have discovered also the
pantry-handy possibilities of the new a-pound
carton of Sunsweet Prunes. More convenient;
more sanitary. Packed in three sizes of fruit
large, medium, small. Your grocer has it!
